H'OOD FOR STOVES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,003, dated.February 6, 1894.

Application filed April 14, 1893.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, THOMAS M. HORNOR, CHARLES A. 'HoRNoR, and THOMAS L.EGAN, citizens of the United States, residing at Weston,.in the countyof Lewis and State of West Virginia, have invented a new and useful Hoodfor Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in hoods for stoves.

The object of the present invention is to provide for cooking stoves anadjustable hood adapted to convey smoke, fumes, odors and the likearising from cooking up the flue or chimney to prevent them filling ahouse with unpleasant odors, and capable of being readily lifted out ofthe way when it is necessary to clean a stove, make a fire, or analogouspurposes.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination andarrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of ahood constructed inaccordance with this invention and shown applied to a stove. Fig. 2 is avertical sectional View.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figuresof the drawings. 1

1 designates an approximately rectangular frame constructed of suitablemetal and having parallel sides 2, which support and form guides for ahood 3 provided on its rear face with clips 4 receiving the sides of theframe. The lower ends of the sides 2 are bent horizontally to form feet5, which rest upon the top of a cook stove 6 at the back thereof, andare provided at their rear ends with lugs 7, arranged in :perforatiousof the top of the stove and preferably formed by bending the ends of themetal forming the frame. The sides of the frame are supported at theirlower ends by braces 8, which are secured to the horizontal portions orfeet 5 and to the sides 2 a short distance above the stove, and inclineddownward from front to rear. The hood 3 is approximately pyramidal, therear side or wall being vertical, and consists of a stationary section 9and a hinged section 10,

adapted to be swung up out of the way when freer access to the stove isdesired, than when the hood is in proper operative position. The section10 is hinged at the top at 11 and is operated by a wire cord or cable12, which, has one end secured to the lower end of the hinged section10, and which passes over pulleys 13 and 14 and has its other enddepending adjacent to the back of the stove and provided with acounterbalancin g weight 15, which operating with a friction caused bythe cable or cord on the pulleys serves to hold the hinged section upwhen lifted, but is insufficient of itself to lift the hinged section.The station- .ary or rigid section 9 has secured to it a vertical pipesection 16, which telescopes into a similar section 17, connected by anelbow or bend 18 with a collar or band 19 surrounding the stove pipe andhaving its ends connected by a bolt 20. By this construction the uppersection may be readily attached to a stove pipe, and in order toestablish communication between the pipe sections and the stove pipe 21it is only necessary to make a hole or opening 22 to correspond with theupper terminus of the pipe section 17, the collar or band surroundingsuch opening and necessitating no furtherjoint or connection. The lowersection 16 is provided with a damper 23, and the sections 16 aretelescopingly connected to enable the hood to be vertically adjusted onthe frame 1 without interfering with its connection with the stove pipe.

The hood is secured at any desired adj ustment by set screws 24, of theclips 4 for engaging the sides of the frame 1.

It will be seen that the hood is simple and comparatively inexpensive inconstruction, and that it is adapted to be readily applied to andquickly adj usted to suit any ordinary kitchen or cook stove.

Changes in the form, proportion and the minor details of constructionmay be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificingany of the advantages of the invention.

What we claim is- 1. The combination with a'stove having an upwardlyextending stove pipe, of a frame mounted on the stove and extendingupward therefrom, a hood adj ustably mounted on the frame, and atelescoping pipe having its lower end connected to the hood and havingits upper end adjustably secured to the stove pipe, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination of arectangular frame provided with parallel sidesdesigned to be secured to and to extend upward from a stove, a hoodadjnstably mounted on the sides of the frame and provided with clips toreceive said sides, and a telescoping pipe designed to be connected witha stove pipe, substantially as described.

3. The combination of a frame having parallel sides provided with feetsecured to a stove and having lugs to fit in perforations thereof, ahood adjnstably mounted on the frame and having a hinged section adaptedto be swung upward, and a telescoping pipe provided at its upper endwith a collar hav ing its ends connected by a bolt and adapted toencircle a stove pipe, substantially as described.

4. The combination of a frame having parallel sides provided with feetsecured to a stove and having lugs to fit in perforations thereof, ahoodadjustably mounted on the frame and having a hinged section adapted tobe swung upward, a weighted cord connected to the hinged section, and atelescoping pipe provided at its upper end withacol- 3o
